Micrographia, or, Some physiological descriptions of minute bodies made by magnifying glasses

Micrographia, or, Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses by Robert Hooke (1635-1703) contains the discoveries that Hooke made with his newly perfected compound microscope. Micrographia was not only the first book devoted entirely to microscopic observations, but also the first to pair its descriptions with profuse and detailed illustrations.
